Detroit Lake Oregon- Memorial Weekend- 2012

We had an incredible weekend with our friends, The Pfiefers, at their cabin in Detroit Lake. They were so nice to invite us with them for a couple days of boating, fishing, and relaxing! We had a ball! The weather was chilly but sunny and wonderful. The first day we did not have much luck fishing and caught nothing. We still enjoyed the boat, made a nice dinner on their traeger and had a gorgeous bonfire which included roasting marshmallows for s'mores! Sunday, Craig, Erika's husband got the fish finder GPS working and we found a perfect spot for fishing! Dave was the first to catch a fish and I think he wins SMALLEST fish! Katrina was next to catch one and she wins BIGGEST fish of the day! Miles followed as Stella and everyone else caught more and more fish! The only ones who didn't catch fish were us Mom's. Erika and I had no luck! Everyone else caught two or more! We will be eating trout this week! We had a WONDERFUL time and are so thankful for their invitation. HOW FUN and so SO SO beautiful!

Braces

Not only is Miles nearing the end of his 5th grade Elementary School experience, gearing up for Middle School. He talking different, sounding more and more mature and now he has braces and changed his look! He looks more and more like Dave each day! Getting braces was a fun day for Miles. He got to miss some of school and get a smoothie for lunch! He is SO SO handsome and with that perfect smile we are working on, we are in trouble! Watch out ladies! MILES BAKER IS THE MAN! Haha!

I Love my dear Miles...great kid...Look at this picture, can you believe it?!

De and Tony Visit Portland

All I can say is WHOAH! What a weekend. We have been NON STOP since the Friday evening when my college friend and her husband came to Portland! They are on a Northwest Vacation and Portland was their first stop before heading to Seattle WA and Vancouver . I have known De for years and we don't see each other often at all so it was fun to host them on their kick off to vacation! We showed them as much as we could before they headed out this morning. Multnomah Falls, Hood River, Full Sail Brewery , Columbia River Gorge, Vista House, Portland City Grill Happy Hour, Awesome pizza at Tribunali, VooDoo Donut, Rock N Roll Marathon kick off to the Rose Festival, The Oregon Wine Country are all things we fit into the weekend! It was insane but fun!

 I am so tired.
